B-Right is the best B vitamin i have come across thus far. I purchased it a while back and never really got to have a personal relationship with the supplement because i was taking another one for my MTHFR mutation which has higher doses in methylfolate and B12 methylcobalamin (1,000 mcg each). I had tried both of them at once and it was giving me headaches, probably due to the methylfolate overdose. So i left it out for a while. I recently started taking it again but this time at lunch (while i take my other supplement stronger supplement at breakfast) and it gives me energy throughout the day! It is amazing, i can do much more now in a day that i ever could. I have struggled with chronic fatigue, depression, Anxiety, aches and pain, you name it...i feel like a new me is born: more energy, much improved mood, brighter outlook on life, less Anxiety and better ability to cope with stress, better sleep where i feel refreshed the next day and not foggy, better concentration, and overall a more positive attitude. What is not to like??

I noticed today on Amazon that I had bought this product eight times. That goes to show that I honestly believe it works. I've been raving about Ashwagandha to friends for years now and Jarrow is my favorite brand. The first time that I realized it worked is when I took four capsules before speaking to a group of nearly 100 community members. Now, I don't have social Anxiety, but my heart always races, sweat begins to appear and I start to get anxious whenever I have to speak publicly. After taking the capsules, it was as if I was talking with a group of old friends. I became quite comfortable up there. Also, this supplement has helped my work out. I can more confidently focus on heavy lifts and I'm able to lift more without tiring out too quickly. For me the best does has been two capsules before a workout. Too much and you may feel too relaxed, having the opposite effect. The only other OTC product that has had a similar powerful effect on Anxiety is NAC. I enjoy both supplements, but if you want the anxiolytic effects w/o the sulfur farts, I'd suggest Jarrow's Ashwagandha. I wasn't paid to do this and there is no incentive. After going through other reviews, I thought it would be helpful to add my own because it helps to hear from the reviews of other customers

If any of you are like me, you were looking for something 'natural' to help you with your Anxiety (or possibly depression). I am not ashamed to admit that is the reason I sought out this herb. To give you a slight background on me, I am a 30 year old guy with no real history or diagnosis of any sort of mental issue. Like most people I did exhaustive research into 'safe' ways to improve my mood and take the edge off and came across a website talking about adaptogens, like Ashwaghanda. Before I took it I spoke to my family doctor to see if it was ok; I am on no medications (that includes SSRIs, Benzos, etc...) so she gave me the OK, but she admittedly had no idea what it was. She told me she would 'google it' afterwards. I ordered the bottle and had it sitting around for a couple of days. I was reluctant to try it, as I am with mostly everything I know little about. My situation was not improving and I had a really bad day; anxious/depressed just laying on the couch. I decided why not give it a try and I did. Around an hour and half I started to feel the edge coming off. I started to feel marginally better. I was actually very surprised, as I did not really think it would do anything for me. It actually made me a bit tired the first week or so taking it. I ended up taking a nap the very first day when it kicked in. I ended up taking it everyday since that first day, but the results aren't anything spectacular, but it certainly seems to be affecting me in a positive way. PROS: - Seems to take the edge off of [general] Anxiety (or at least did for me) - Is 'natural' - Comes from a reputable company CONS (details below): - Can make you drowsy at first - The effect seems to be short lasting - I think it causes some slight 'medicine head' I only rated this product 3/5 because it really just seems 'OK' to me. I was not expecting it to cure me of all my issues, but I was expecting a more pronounced calming affect (like Chamomile has). Like I said above, at first it made me a bit drowsy. I think anyone with general Anxiety might agree that they'd rather be drowsy than agitated, so it is not a HUGE con. It also seems to really not last very long. I noticed when I took it around lunchtime (morning for me) at 11am - 12, by 5-7 I can feel the Anxiety creeping back a tiny bit. The bottle recommends taking one per day and I have not gone over that; perhaps I should try more. I actually spoke to a certified herbalist who said 225mg of Ashwaghanda was pretty low and had she prepared me a mix, it would have been at least double that. Still, I am reluctant to take more. Also I mentioned the medicine head feeling. I am not totally sure if this is the Ash, or just a general side affect of going through a major depressive/Anxiety episode. I generally don't tolerate supplements that well, so I think most people would not have this side effect. Fish Oil gives me brain fog and it is supposed to do the exact opposite of that. I would suggest if you are suffering from Anxiety or depression to give this a try. I have heard this herb has literally solved people's issues in a matter of weeks, so it could do that for you as well. I would suggest talking to your doctor first, especially if you are on ANY medications. While you are at your doctor's office it would probably be a good idea to have some blood work done and test for Vitamin D3 levels, Thyroid and Cortisol test (if you are dealing with Anxiety/depression). Good luck to everyone who reads this; time (and sometimes herbs) heal all wounds

Ashwagandha is an Indian herb used in Ajurveda, and a very potent one with wide ranging effects. Indian supplements carry a reputation for potential of being contaminated or adulterated because of lack of regulation so it is important to get it from a company you can trust, like Jarrow.. I have never had a problem with one of their products. and the strict independent supplement testing and review organization Consumer Lab has never found a problem with one of their products and always rates them highly. This formula is a patented extract called KSM66 and it is standardized to have an especially high level of the active compounds of Ashwagandha, withholides. This means any patented extract can be relied upon for especially high quality assurance and listed amount and purity of herbal ingredients every time. One note, as another reviewer pointed out, that Jarrow previously used a different patented extract called Sensoril, it seems like until about two years ago, but now uses the KSM66 extract. Different extracts have different experiences sometimes even for the same person, and the Sensoril has a reputation for calming, while the KSM66 has a reputation for being more invigorating. Keep that in mind reading mine and other recent reviews compared to anything from 2015 or before. This Ashwagandha supplement I am using for adrenal support as an adaptagen, which is an herb that like the more famous ginseng in that it supposed to support you during times of stress whether you need balancing out in either direction. This is another reason different people experience different effects from the same herb and even from the same extract - it helps you in the direction you need it to. It balances out your cortisol in response to stress, giving you a quiet calm while giving you more energy and strength when you need it. Ginseng doesn't work for me but this herb does. I find this Ashwagandha KSM66 extract to be stimulating without the "revved up" feeling of caffeine. I get the experience of inner strength, energy, stamina, focus, and concentration, which lasts all through out the day. This patented extract is very potent - I started out taking one capsule three times a day and had to cut back because it was too much. I backed off to two times a day, and then discovered that I do best taking one to two capsules in the morning depending on how I feel that day, and then it last well into the afternoon and evening for as long as I need it. Contrary to what others have said, it does not help me sleep it keeps me awake, so that's why I switched to the morning only dosing. Also, two capsules at once is stronger than one capsule twice daily and lasts longer through out the day. I highly recommend this Ashwagandha extract as an adaptogen for whatever your needs may be - you basically have to try it and see if it makes a valuable contribution to your life and your burden of stress and exhaustion. Just remember this is a potent extract, and use accordingly. I plan to keep ordering and using this high quality Jarrow product for the forseeable future

I'm now on my second bottle. This has been a life changer. I have suffered from an Anxiety disorder since childhood. Ive tried multiple medications over the years but many of them had side effects or carried a risk of dependence. I have always been extremely skeptical of herbal remedies, but this has been hands down the best thing I have ever used. I no longer get many of the physical manifestations of Anxiety or panic, heart palpitations, that sick sinking feeling in my stomach, the jolts of unwanted adrenaline at inappropriate times. My sleep has been better, my mood has balanced out, when stressful things occur they just do not affect me the way they used to. Its not to say I feel no Anxiety, its just so far reduced I keep noticing things after the fact. For example, I went to a super busy store and wasnt bothered by the crowds, my friend commented that he was surprised I wasn't overreacting to it and rushing to get out of there. Driving in traffic is much less stressful. I do not in any way feel drugged or impaired. The only side effects I noticed were drowsiness the first week or so I took it, that has since gone away and if anything I feel more energetic. I am not overstating anything, I just wish I had known about this a long time ago. If you are skeptical, I was too and I expected nothing but wasted money to come from this. This of course is just my anecdotal experience, but there is also a lot of evidence and studies that have been done supporting its efficacy

This is the right B complex for everyone that has the methyl b12 ingredient and not the cyanocobalamin cheap ingredient which contains a cyanide molecule. Most people are familiar with cyanide as a poisonous substance. Although the amount of cyanide in a normal B12 supplement is small and from a toxicology point, viewed as insignificant, your body will still need to remove and eliminate this compound.Compared with cyanocobalamin, it appears that methylcobalamin is better absorbed and retained in higher amounts within your tissues. In simple terms, they are used much more effectively. In general, methylcobalamin is used primarily in your liver, brain, and nervous system. Methylcobalamin is the specific form of B12 needed for nervous system health. Because of this, it should be the first form of this vitamin thought of when interested in attempting to optimize the health of the nervous system with vitamin supplementation. Indications of a potential deficiency of B12 in the nervous system might include numbness, tingling, loss of feeling sensation, burning sensations, muscle cramps, nerve pain and slowness of reflexes. Because of methylcobalamin's importance in nervous system health, it is also an important nutrient for vision. In fact, continued visual work (like work on a computer) often leads to a reduction in something called "visual accommodation". Methylcobalamin can significantly improve visual accommodation, while cyanocobalamin appears to be ineffective. An elevated level of homocysteine is a metabolic indication of decreased levels of the coenzyme forms of vitamin B12, especially methylcobalamin. Homocysteine has received a tremendous amount of emphasis in the scientific literature because of its associations with heart disease and a variety of other specific health conditions. I have even seen advertisements on television promoting folic acid, as a vitamin needed to lower homocysteine. While this is true, and folic acid does lower homocysteine levels, the combination of methylcobalamin and folic acid appears to work much better. The most well-studied use of methylcobalamin has to do with sleep. Although the exact mechanism of action is not yet clear, it is possible that methylcobalamin is needed for the synthesis of melatonin. Available information indicates that methylcobalamin can modulate melatonin secretion, enhance light-sensitivity, and normalize circadian rhythm (your 24-hour clock). Because of this, individuals supplementing this form of B12 often have improved quality of sleep, often will require slightly less sleep, and will not uncommonly report that they feel a bit more refreshed when waking in the morning. Methylcobalamin is particularly effective when your 24-hour clock is not running smoothly. This may be indicated by a need for excessive sleep, changing sleep-wake cycles, or a tendency to have altered sleep-wake patterns. As examples, you might require 10-12 hours of sleep, or you might not feel tired until 2-3 am and you might wake at noon, or you might find that you wake a bit later every day and go to be a bit later every night. Under all of these circumstances, the combination of methylcobalamin (about 3000 mcg daily) and exposure to bright light in the morning can help reestablish your 24-hour clock. Because of methylcobalamin's impact on 24-hour clock and the cycles that feed of this, it is also an important vitamin to regulate your 24-hour release of the stress hormone cortisol. This seems to be particularly important for blood types A and AB. Methylcobalamin also seems to result in a better 24-hour maintenance of body temperature. Typically individuals supplementing this coenzyme form of B12 have higher temperatures in the later hours of the daytime. This usually corresponds with improved alertness at the same time of the day. While this can be of importance for all blood types, low body temperatures seems to be an area of greater challenge for A's and B's.)

After taking this consistently for about 2-3 weeks, (one per day - sometimes once in AM and once in PM) I can attest that my stress and Anxiety is muted. If that makes sense? I don't get as worked up or feel the flooding, overwhelming sesnation when something is stressful. I have a very high stress job but i don't feel overwhelmed. It's almost like my body doesn't get to that threshold of what it used to prior to taking this. Discussed this with my husband and he said the same thing. Highly recommend it

I have a myriad of reasons for trying ashwagandha. Initially I was looking for a natural way to boost testosterone (it works great for that), but the reason I can't live without it now is what it has done for my Anxiety. I have a long history of Anxiety and even had severe clinical depression. I started out by taking one pill a day, and I felt so good I kept upping the dose. I am up to 600 mg in the morning and 300 at night, and I have never felt so Anxiety-free in my entire life. It is truly amazing, and it is subtle (I don't feel like I'm on a drug, I feel like my natural self). Can't recommend this product enough for somebody in a similar situation as my own

I read about this is Christine Horner's Waking the Warrior Goddess and through Dr. Mercola's site. I chose Jarrow to try it because I wanted to start off with a lower dose and also love this company because of the owner's stringent business practices. Since I have cancer in my family, I wanted to try an adaptagen (and am also drinking tulsi tea). Amazingly, taking one in the evening so changed my everyday mood that I suggested my daughter take this (as a doctoral student in the middle of internship applications and dissertations, etc, she was not dealing with her stress well). She has taken it for about two weeks now and commented yesterday that she has noticed a decided difference in how she handles stress, helping her to evaluate what it going on instead of just reacting to it. There is not a lot of actual research on this, but it is a panacea anecdotally. We will both continue to use this. I would not take under suspected pregnancy as evidence shows that high dosages have caused miscarriage in animals

I am amazed at this supplement. I struggle with chronic stress, generalized Anxiety/worry, and poor concentration due to a stressful job, anxious disposition, and probably some degree of ADHD. I have tried many, many supplements over the years and most have done absolutely nothing. I got this after noticing that a Yogi tea with Ashwagandha in it helped to significantly improve my sleep, plus the recommendation of a friend who is trained in Chinese medicine who said Ashwagandha has been transformative for her. I wanted the KSM-66 version because I read online that this apparently has good support for stress relief and energy, which is what I wanted. I take just 1 capsule in the daytime and I notice a reduction in the effects of stress (like I am buffered against it a bit so I don't get tanked by it as easily), a very natural lift in mood (happier, bubblier, less negative), improved focus (not sure if a direct effect or as a product of the aforementioned), and a natural bump of energy. All of this is perceptible and definitely NOT a placebo effect. And the effects feel totally natural, and not cracked out; no unpleasant, bracing, physiological arousal, like with synthetic stimulants. The best way I can describe it is like a natural, mild Adderall feeling, again without the cracked aspect or crash. I'm also pleasantly surprised that some days I take it (not all), I feel a bump in libido as well. I have been very stressed out lately and not working out as much, and my libido has been in the toilet. It is nice to see it come back a bit! I was using Ashwagandha for a few weeks and felt like its effect was lessening so I took a couple week break and am back on it now, and I felt its effects immediately. I read online that it's good to take breaks like this. If you struggle with chronic stress, generalized Anxiety/worry, and poor focus, I recommend you give this a try
